summer

I really need to work at kicking my own butt. I skipped my spin class today, again. I missed Monday too. I shouldn’t because I still pay if I don’t go and because I know its good for me. Summer is just so hard to keep on track with exercising and eating healthy. That and ICE CREAM. brutal I know. Why does ice cream belong in summer. or in my freezer. Mmm Cotton Candy Oreo Blizzards! Thanks Roxy! I sometimes wish I had someone like Emily has to be in charge. So even when I whine they could say “I’m sorry sweetie, that’s not good for you” “You need to eat your vegetables” Do you want an apple for dessert!?!!!YAY!” I think I’d do a lot better with that. I think I need a personal Salad Chef. I like salads, but I usually keep myself to busy to make them. I did have a leaf of my butter lettuce that I’m growing though. mmm tasty!

The big girl is still sleeping in her big girl bed. This morning , 20 minutes before my alarm would normally go off, Emily walked by our room and said “Hi Mom!” and headed for the stairs. AHH. I snatched her up and brought her back into our room for some snuggles. I was definitely not ready to get up yet. And when did she start calling me “Mom”. The name is “Mommy!”Silly little monkey!

I have Leah to thank for the ridiculous song stuck in my head today. Thank you for suggesting I let Em watch the wiggles on youtube. WHY! Cold spaghetti Cold Spaghetti!!! At least Emily loves to sing and dance right?

I’m kinda sad today because I found out that another one of the kids I went to school with passed away. His name was Jamie and we were good friends in Jr. High and fellow Percussionists in band too. He was a really nice guy. Stupid Cancer. It’s pretty hard to have people your age die. You expect that because you are young you have loads of time to worry about that kind of stuff later, but I guess that’s why the bible describes this life as “but a breath”(psalm 39). I can’t possibly know how many days and moments I have left to live, but I know that I plan on using them to the fullest. I truly want to see as many people as I can come to know Jesus before it’s too late.

Well before I spend to much of my day feeling melancholy, here’s some picks from the last week.

oh and I miss you already Coco. And Danielle, Come home soon!
